[Samba] Troubles with PDC move

[Adam Williams]

have to load the user's NTUSER.DAT as administrator in redegit, click on 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHONE, then under file, click load hive, load their 
NTUSER.DAT, name it something, right click, permissions, amke sure it 
has DOMAIN\USER for the person that should own it.  if not, you can add 
permissions for that user.  then unload hive, put their NTUSER.DAT back, 
and try logging in as that user again and see what happens.  one way to 
see if you have a registry permission problem is to right click on their 
my documetns and change the target to z:\my documents or whatever drive 
letter you have available.  if it works, you don't have a registry 
permissions problem, if it says unable to change target, then you do and 
will have to do the hive proceedure to fix it.
